Clear Creek Amana and Solon both left Des Moines last week with the most important piece of hardware you can earn – a state championship trophy.

On Monday both teams began to rake in the individual postseason honors following their state title runs.

Class 4A state champion Clear Creek Amana and Class 3A champ Solon each had a pair of players earn all-state honors on Monday when the Iowa Girls Coaches Association released its all-state teams.

Solon seniors Callie Levin and Hailey Miller each earned all-state honors in Class 3A team while Clear Creek Amana senior Ava Locklear and sophomore Averie Lower were 4A all-state selections to highlight a list of six Your Prep Sports area athletes named to all-state teams.

Clear Creek Amana head coach PJ Sweeney was named 4A coach of the year while Solon coach Jamie Smith was tabbed the 3A coach of the year.

Locklear was a first-team selection in Class 4A while Lower was named to the 4A second-team after helping Clear Creek Amana to a 26-0 season that ended with a win over Waverly-Shell Rock in the 4A title game.

The captain of the 4A all-tournament team, Locklear averaged a double-double of the season with 12.1 points and 10.7 rebounds and also led the Clippers in assists (4.2) and blocked shots (2.1) per game.
